This post will highlight 14 axolotl morphs, including some common and extremely rare colors that exist today or have existed in the past. What Are The Different Axolotl Colors?Īs of now, there are many different axolotl morphs that result in hundreds of different colors and color combinations. Whether it be increased iridophores or decreased melanophores, these mutations can create very unique-looking axolotl. While basic genetics plays a big role in coloring axolotl, mutations also play a role! An axolotl may be genetically designed to be one way, but their DNA may mutate slightly to give them a slightly different appearance. These alleles will then determine what physical appearances are present in an axolotl depending on which gene is dominant and which is recessive! Each parent will contribute a gene for that pigment.
ENIGMA AXOLOTL CODE
These genes are inherited independently from each other, so a pair of genes will come together into an allele and code for the same physical characteristic - in this case pigment. Printed by Cartamundi in Belgium on their amazing True Linen B9 Finish.Each of the above cells in an axolotl has 14 pairs of chromosomes, and it's in these chromosomes that the axolotl's characteristics are determined.Matte black tuck box and spot UV ink print for all the details.Fully custom art for all the Court cards, Aces and Joker.

56 cards (52 cards + 1 Joker + 1 double face card + 1 duplicate Queen of Hearts card + 1 educational card about the Axolotl).The numbers have been combined with elements from the plants and Axolotl in order to make them more round, organic and unique.
ENIGMA AXOLOTL FULL
The Joker design is a full body representation of the Axolotl. Details are printed with a spot UV finish, producing a shiny, blacker finish over the matte box. The tuck box is printed on a matte finish, special black cardboard. The Court cards have been designed to reflect what it would be like if they lived like the Axolotl under water all the time - with air bubbles, floating hair and clothes, and even moss being present on some parts of their clothing. The Aces were inspired by the Axolotl’s cute, almost child-like, looks and the curious interaction that they sometimes have with different plants (in this case, the water hyacinth). This scene displays the harmony that exists between the 3 elements: the water hyacinth, the Axolotl and the water. Ripples in the water created by the movement of the Axolotl pass through the water hyacinths. The back design illustrates how the Axolotl interacts with the elements that are constantly present through its life. Inspired by the Axolotl and its natural environment, the design focuses on 3 main elements: This can be accomplished through the incredible art contained in these playing cards.Īxolotl Playing Cards features original art for every card in the deck (Court cards, Aces,Joker, regular number cards and back design). The Axolotl Playing Cards is a project created to help support the Axolotl conservation efforts in México by spreading knowledge about this amazing creature.
